The City of Vancouver has announced a new capital grant program for Downtown Eastside organizations. The program is open to not-for-profit social service, child care and arts and culture groups that are planning a capital project.

The Downtown Eastside (DTES) Capital Grant Program is led by Planning and Development Services with assistance from the City’s Social Policy Grant Team. Funding is available to projects located within the DTES boundaries.

Vancouver-based non-profits, cultural, community service or childcare organizations, or charities registered with Canada Revenue Agency including organizations in City-owned or leased facilities, are eligible.
